Biography
Aseel Haq was born in Salfit, Mandatory Palestine on 14 October 1934 to a Sunni Muslim family. Haq's family was safe during the Israeli War of Independence, as they lived in the West Bank, which was occupied by Transjordan. Haq later moved to Egypt to study at al-Azhar University, where he joined the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964. Haq became a high-ranking PLO leader, and he was sent to Italy to serve as a PLO representative in Naples.

On 23 July 1978 Haq was killed by a bomb detonated in his hotel room in Naples. His death was blamed on Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, which was known to have assassinated several PLO leaders since 1972's Munich Massacre in "Operation Wrath of God".
